By some unknown means the Dark Oracle of Fire set his men on fire without killing them, and uses them for suicide attacks against his opponents. Whenever one of such soldiers was killed, its body would explode an a ball of flames. [1]

The use of the Dark Oracle's powers also allowed the Army to radiate enough heat to overheat the castle walls, making them less resistant to attacks. [2]

They were quick, moving much faster than a normal army. They carried no supplies, taking what they needed. They care nothing for the welfare of their men. [2]

In addition, this ability, known as The Dark Oracle's Blessing, made the army virtually immune to all forms of Rokuganimagic. This was not without cost, however. Persons bearing the blessing were likely to die, the weakest relatively quickly, while stronger individuals could hold out for weeks or indefinitely. [3] Some, known by Rokugani as belchers, were even able to breathe fire, although that ability caused them to become physically deformed. [4]

The army was comprised mostly Yobanjin, including both giant eagle and Wyrm Riders. However, during the attack on the Exile's Road Watchtower, some members of the Army of Fire were using Rokugani army (likely recently deceased who have been brought back to life under the Dark Oracle of Fire's control).
